/me forgot. I'm actually interested in both sides here. Is this the talk
regarding the open sourced rapid prototype system? Can you send/post
more info. Times/Room No, do we need to book/give advanced warning etc?

Last time i did a presentation (2 weeks ago) i wrote the presentation in
PP and it worked *perfectly* in latest OO on my debian laptop. I had the
usual PP nonsense of embedded videos not saving but that was easy to
fix. In fact we ran the live presentation on the day from my linux
laptop, all was well.

I may be able to help in some way here as i work in Falmouth so its not
exactly far. Let me know, they repeatedly shout at me until i respond :-)
